Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Rivers State Police Command has arrested three of its officers for alleged involvement in extortion of motorists in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital.<\/p>\n

The three female officers \u2013 Inspector Sarah Anendei, Inspector Caroline Promise and Inspector Christiana Jatau \u2013 were arrested under the Rumuokoro flyover in Obio\/Akpor Local Government Area of the state, where they operated an unauthorized checkpoint.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the three police women have been in the act for a long time.<\/p>\n

While confirming the arrest in Port Harcourt, the Police Public Relations Officer, Grace Iringe-Koko, said the Command has been monitoring the women following reports of their activities.<\/p>\n

She said two of them at the point of arrest were not putting on their uniforms while on duty, adding that money extorted from motorists was found on them.<\/p>\n

Iringe-Koko said: \u201cThe Rivers State Police Command has arrested three of its officers following a coordinated monitoring patrol by operatives from the Commissioner of Police team, CP Monitoring Unit on October 29, 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe operation, conducted under the Rumuokoro Flyover around 3 pm, led to the arrest of Inspector Sarah Anendei, Inspector Caroline Promise, and Inspector Christiana Jatau, who were caught engaging in a corrupt practice against innocent motorists under the Flyover.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo of the officers, Inspectors Caroline Promise and Christiana Jatau, were found conducting this unprofessional behaviour while out of uniform, further contravening police standards. Their misconduct was captured on video by a mobile phone, providing clear evidence of their actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the immediate on-site investigation, the operatives searched the officers and recovered the money taken from the motorists, marking a swift response in upholding ethical practices within the Rivers State Police Command.\u201d<\/p>\n
